Winter | Winter solstice is the time of year when the days are the shortest—when we have the least amount of daylight. It is, conversely, the time of the release of the light from the [[Great Central Sun]] for the nourishing of the evolutions of earth. At winter solstice a sphere of energy descends from the Great Central Sun and comes into alignment with the white fire core of the planet. Only one-fourth of that energy is released at winter solstice—the quotient of energy for the first quadrant of the year. | ||
In times past the light that was released to the earth was wasted by a majority of the people. Most people took the fresh new light—the new wine of the Spirit—and put it into the old bottles of their human consciousness. So at least nine-tenths of the light immediately went into the old patterns. In recent years, with the spiritual revival that has taken place on the planet—starting with the founding of the Theosophical Society in 1875 and continuing to the present—devotees of the Masters have been better able to receive and absorb the light that is released. | In times past the light that was released to the earth was wasted by a majority of the people.
